Josh Taylor vs Teofimo Lopez

Let's be honest, the Prestonpans Puncher absolutely smashes him. He's the king of boxing and one of the greatest in history.

 

I didn't think Lopez would beat Loma after the Nakatani fight, so we'll see.

 

Not sure.
These : Campbell and Linares were huge dudes for Loma and still didn't had finished Loma.
Loma is bulked up former 126 lbs division boxer in pros.
Taylor size looks huge if compare with Loma and Lopez didn't had get Loma down.
To get down 140lbs division dude will be more difficult than 135 lbs division boxer, not alone dudes like bulked up 126 lbs division boxers aka Loma.
I think this dude is too large even for prime Loma etc. 140lbs division, huge dude.

 

Neither did many. But hes much younger than Taylor was when he became a relevant professional. So he has a lot more room for improvement than Taylor. Josh is as good as he can ever get. Lopez still has room to get better.

 

I will bring back this thread after Kambosos rips the belt from Teofimo.

 

Taylor wins.

 

That would certainly upset the apple cart. Kambosos certainly don't lack for confidence

 

He may not be the deadly puncher at a high level, but he showed a good gameplan and discipline to stick with it. That's valuable against Taylor.

He's improving still.

 

Lopez don't really want any smoke with Taylor

He likes having a unfair size advantage, Taylor would bully him around the ring.

 

Taylor would take him out within 3 rounds IMO

 

Lopez by brutal KO mid fight.

 

Depends if Taylor is considered “too tall” for Teo to handle.
